Quality Academics

For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. - Proverbs 2:6

  

Our well balanced school curriculum includes emphasis on literacy and literature based language arts, an integrated math program with a hands-on approach as well as a focus on problem-solving skills; instruction in both creative writing and "tear-free" handwriting.  Our commitment is to maximize individualized instruction time with smaller class sizes and low student/teacher ratios.  Each class incorporates a variety of resources, teaching tools, materials, and field trips to complement their unit studies.

"Each of us must make crucial choices for our children's education.  At NHS, God led us to establish an environment with an emphasis on academics AND a Christian worldview."

-Chairman, New Heights School Council

Spiritual Growth

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ.                   -Colossians 2:2

 At New Heights we believe each and every day should incorporate a time of focus, praise, worship, and prayer to our Lord God.  We schedule a time to do those things together as a school, at 8:15 am each school day.  Different staff and classes will take turns leading our morning assembly time.  We'll include songs, prayers, devotional thoughts, praise and thanksgiving, the Pledge of Allegiance, and Pledge to the Bible.  Special guest speakers will also be invited for occasional extended assemblies throughout the school year and parents are always welcome to sign in and join us during any school assembly times. Our students are also encouraged to grow closer to God through classroom Bible study, scripture memorization, and developing a personal, daily quiet time with God.

Nurturing of Individual Talents

We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. -Ephesians 2:10

NHS recognizes that God designed each one of us with a unique personality and variety of different personal interests.  We give each student opportunities to explore different areas of study beyond basic academics to develop their God-given gifts.  Our school week includes special enrichment studies in fine art, performing arts, Bible, computers, foreign language studies, library, movement, and music.

We also emphasize instruction in, and the practice of; respect for adults, property, and those in authority; kindness to others; and reinforcement of conversational etiquette and table manners.  We guide our students in developing lifelong habits of courtesy and compassion. 

"What I like about New Heights School is the fact that our daughter will not be learning anything that goes against our Christian values.  I know when I drop her off she is safe and happy.  She is in an environment that nurtures her heart as well as her head."    -New Heights School parent
